Life and Death tackle North America

Tale Of Us, Thugfucker and others will play four dates in the US next month.

Italian house label Life and Death will embark on a short tour of the US starting February 1st.

The imprint was founded in 2010 by DJ Tennis and Greg Oreck (one half of Thugfucker), and has released poppy house music from acts like PillowTalk and WhoMadeWho. The core Life and Death crew will head to the US together to tour under the label's banner, hitting four major cities in just over a week.

Their journey begins in San Francisco at Mezzanine on February 1st. That show will feature Italian duo Tale Of Us, Thugfucker, DJ Tennis and a live set from PillowTalk. Local DJ Adnan Sharif will open, while Hotflush funkateer Jimmy Edgar is also on the bill. The next night, the group will head to Los Angeles to play at an undisclosed location, with Tale Of Us, Thugfucker and DJ Tennis appearing on the lineup. A private loft in Chicago will be the next stop on February 8th, featuring the same three acts, and then their American sojourn ends on the 9th in New York City with Detroit producer Omar-S joining Thugfucker and Tale Of Us on the bill.
